How to Be Single

Synopsis
Four women with vastly different ideas about love and relationships navigate the single life of New York City. Taking a break from her long-term boyfriend Josh (Nicholas Braun), Alice (Dakota Johnson) sets out on a journey of self-discovery with her hard-drinking new friend Robin (Rebel Wilson). Meanwhile, Alice's career-driven older sister Meg (Leslie Mann) struggles with the idea of settling down, and uptight romantic Lucy (Alison Brie) searches for her perfect match. Adapted from former SEX AND THE CITY writer Liz Tuccillo's debut novel, this modern rom com was directed by Christian Ditter.

Reviews
"[Johnson] shares scenes with Leslie Mann that really get the job done; they're funny and charming and a little bit off-plot, so everybody can relax into them." (Los Angeles Times)

"It’s one of the most endearing romantic comedies in recent memory, with some laugh-out-loud dialogue, gorgeous photography and uniformly charming performances from the entire cast." (Chicago Sun-Times)

"HOW TO BE SINGLE marks a positive step forward for the romantic comedy....At the end of this movie some characters end up happy in relationships, and some end up truly happy on their own." (A.V. Club)

"[D]irector Christian Ditter pulls off a pretty tricky feat in balancing the film’s pervasive bawdiness with moments of real substance and heart." (RogerEbert.com)
